A Lake That Drained - Manticora

Another soul departed today

A grieving fact that I have grown used to Ashes to ashes and dust to what?

A ticket to oblivion when your dear ones follow you

Sickness drained the lake inside me That I used to she’d my tears

Sorrow and sadness in abundance

Left a desert through so many years

Gone forever, all but a memory

A grain of sand in a brief moment in time

The rain is pouring down, saddening me As I listen to the sound of the church bell chime

Sickness drained the lake inside me That I used to she’d my tears

Sorrow and sadness in abundance

Left a desert through so many years

What is life but a flash of a switch in the light of eternity

Another soul departed today

Accompanied by the choir’s song

Another soul departed today

It took a little part of me along

Sickness drained the lake inside me That I used to she’d my tears

Sorrow and sadness in abundance

Left a desert through so many years
